Invaders and Settlers

WIGLAF

By Mackenzie

Chapter 1

Wiglaf was a brave and fearsome
warrior and leader who was never afraid to fight. He got ready to set off on
his journey. His shield was as silver as his sharp sword.

He became leader when the former
leader, Beowulf, died whilst fighting the mighty dragon. Before he died, he
asked Wiglaf to take his place as leader. Now that Beowulf was gone, Wiglaf had
been fighting many beasts.

His ship was aged and had lots of
holes in it. His warriors were as brave as Wiglaf. When the crew got on the
ship, the waves got more and more heavy as they sailed
across the sea; the wind got stronger and heavier as they got further away from
land.

As they set off on their journey,
the wind was screaming in pain as if it had been hurt. The ship got out of
control as the wind got stronger. The men’s fingers were freezing cold and the
mountains were filled with trees but it was so foggy you couldn’t see anything!

Chapter 2

As they made their way to the home
of the monster, Wiglaf was about to fight his crew. The three-headed monster
was about to attack Wiglaf and all of his men, but luckily, Wiglaf had a plan.
He was going to trick the monster into thinking that he was there, but it was
actually one of his men. He did this so he could distract the beast and attack
it. He got his sword out followed by his shield. The beast tried to get one of
the men (the one distracting it) but it kept missing. Wiglaf waited for the
right time to attack. After waiting for a while, he finally chopped off one of
the legs. The beast, which was called Barghests, roared so loudly that even the
village where the monster had first attacked could hear it and they were quite
far away.

After one beast was gone, another
one came along and started to attack. Wiglaf thought he could do the same again
but nobody agreed with him! Wiglaf knew lots about beasts, but what he didn’t
know was that there was a magic gem that helped them live forever until it is
stolen or broke.

Chapter 3

He tried and tried to kill him but
it was nearly impossible until he noticed the gem. Wiglaf now had another
mission! He thought up a very clever plan! As you already know, Wiglaf knew all
about monsters, and he knew exactly what he was going to do, he was going to
cut the gem off…

The
intrepid and mighty Beowulf left Wiglaf as the leader of the Geats before his
death. He was badly wounded during his fight with the
violent dragon. Wiglaf told his people that he was the new king and they all
cheered.

The
years went by and the people loved their benevolent and conscientious king. He
was always very helpful and kind to his people. One day he heard about a
cantankerous beast hurting people from a different tribe. He remembered Beowulf’s
victory when he defeated the colossal beast Grendel, so he decided to go and
help the other tribe.

It
was dark and the ship was pitching and tossing. The colossal mountains stared
at them as if they were going to hurt them; the violent waves shouted at them
angrily. The clouds were diabolical and the lightning was furious. The things
on the ship slid across the deck, which was dusty and old, and it was like war. Wiglaf stood magnificently at the prow of the
ship.

He
walked towards the king of the tribe and King Beonof immediately led Wiglaf and
his chosen soldiers to the beast’s lair. Wiglaf could see his soldiers
shivering with tremendous fear after hearing about the cruelty of the monstrous
beast. There, in front of them stood an amazingly grotesque creature; his eyes
glowing bright red and his sharp teeth made the soldiers shiver even more.

Wiglaf approached the monster cautiously and scanned the area as the
monster burst into raucous laughter. He immediately ran towards Wiglaf; he
ducked and ran around the beast. The beast ran after him but Wiglaf cut his arm
off. The avaricious monster cried in pain and then he became furious. He ran
towards Wiglaf and he was going to hurt him but before he could do anything,
Wiglaf put a sword through the beast’s body and the men started stabbing the
evil creature. Wiglaf stood straight, proud of his own skill and bravery. The
chivalrous and phlegmatic Wiglaf immediately went and told king Beonof about
their victory. The king held a feast and they feasted all night. Wiglaf was
proud because he was able to do what his amazing king Beowulf had done in his
life.

Chapter 1

Wiglaf, who was a benevolent king,
started to wonder if the land near him needed a bit of help because devilish
monsters were trying to kill everyone there. Wiglaf became king because when
the other mighty king died, Beowulf said that Wiglaf should become king. And he
did because Wiglaf came to help him when Beowulf was fighting the dragon so
Beowulf thought he would be a successful leader.

One night Wiglaf decided that he
was going to travel to the land beside him.

He set sail on an old wooden ship.
He took with him: a very shiny shield; a glistening sword and his bear skin
cloak. The thunder got angrier and angrier as Wiglaf kept sailing on. The ship
kept pitching and tossing, as all the soldiers were sailing on. The mountains
looked like they were staring seriously at all of the soldiers. Wiglaf and his
crew finally arrived at the village.

Chapter 2

The magnificent beasts stood
opposite Wiglaf, eye to eye. Wiglaf approached the beasts cautiously; his eyes
were scanning the place. The monsters drew closer and closer to Wiglaf, but luckily
Wiglaf dodged. The beast laughed a monstrous laugh. Wiglaf smiled confident in
his own skills. The beasts jumped up on him but Wiglaf managed to duck.
Wiglafs’ warriors were fighting some other dark, evil monsters. Wiglaf finally
defeated the dark elves with his glistening sword, blood spilling out
everywhere.

Chapter 3

Wiglaf and his crew left the
village, all content and happy. The village was never harmed again, but Wiglaf
was badly wounded and could not walk. He decided that he would have to give the
role of king to someone else. He announced that he would give the role of king,
to a special warrior named Helaf. Wiglaf then died. In later years Helaf became
a very important leader.
